On that day, a Long March 5 rocket was sent into space by carrying the Chang’e 5. The mission lasted for 23 days and it is special for several reasons.A return missionChang’e 5 marked China’s first take off from the moon to carry samples (标本) back. This success shows China has mastered the technology for travelling between the Earth and the Moon, which also will help with China’s future space research. The last lunar sample return mission was Luna 24 of the former Soviet Union (前苏联) in 1976.Larger samplesChan’e 5 collected 1,731g of lunar samples, while the former Soviet Union sent back only 330g. “These samples will be a treasure.” said a US Professor Jolliff, “My hat is off to Chinese scientists for completing a very difficult mission.”A new landing siteChang’e 5’s lunar landing site is known as the Ocean of Storms. It’s on the near side of the moon. No probes (探测器) have visited that place before. The samples collected here provide the youngest ones ever tested: just 1.2 billion years old. Samples from the U.S. and the former Soviet Union landing sites are more than 3 billion years old, scientists say.27．What did Chang’e 5 do on the Moon?A．Collected samples from the moon.B．Searched for treasures on the moon.C．Found out if there were storms on the moon.D．Brought Luna 24 of former Soviet Union back.28．China chooses the Ocean of Storms as the landing site because ________.A．it’s most likely to have water          B．it’s not difficult to land thereC．younger samples may be found there  D．other countries landed their probes before29．The passage is mainly about the ________ of Chang’e 5 mission.A．history   B．progress        C．difficulties        D．achievementsDAn arts program is helping students at some of the lowest performing schools in the United States. The program, called Turnaround Arts, aims to help improve low performing schools by adding music and the arts to the usual study program.Turnaround Arts was started by Michelle Obama, the wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama. Some money for the program comes from the federal (联邦) government. For the students at attending schools, the program offers a kind of safe place from city neighborhoods. Many of the children come from areas with high crime rates.Turnaround Arts is a partnership between the federal government and private businesses. Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary is one of the 68 schools in the U.S. taking part in the program. Teachers receive special training and look for ways to add music and the arts into all the classes. Turnaround Arts schools partner with musicians and actors who work with the students. Performers have included Yo-Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John and Cameron Diaz.School headmaster Long noted “The children were so excited and have been so excited because it’s not just about—’Go to the board. Do the problem. Turn the page. Read the book’; it’s about acting and imitating (模仿) artists and historic characters.” She noted how some students got the chance to act out the process of a caterpillar (毛虫) becoming a butterfly. “I like to act and I like to sing and I like to dance,” said 10-year-old Kayla Driakare.Long said that Turnaround Arts was only in its first year at the school, and teachers were already seeing results. “We’ve probably suspended (暂时停学) one kid this year. That’s amazing,” she said. “Parents are getting phone calls to come to family arts night, and it’s not just the naughty calls home. It’s for them to come and learn more about what their children are learning. So our parents’ engagement goes up.”30．What can be inferred (推断) from what Principal Long said?A．Students love this program very much.B．Students can learn how to act from this grogram.C．This program makes students know science well.D．Students can perform themselves well during the program.31．The underlined word “engagement” in the last paragraph means “________”.A．the money they should pay  B．the level they can take part inC．the decision they make      D．the problem they solve32．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To advertise for a project.B．To introduce an arts program of the USA．C．To call on people to support some lowest performing schools.D．To encourage more American schools to take part in Turnaround Arts. 四、信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)   根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Think Before You SpeakEveryone in the railway station was waiting for the train to arrive.

We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However，there is also a right time to eat, sleep，exercise，and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies：the biological(生物的) clock．    Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6：00 a．m．She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s 1egs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower，but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said，“Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work after. "Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.    Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(生物钟学)，the study of biological clocks．They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example，it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also，doctors discovered that some illnesses，such as heart attacks，occur(发生) most often in the morning．This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication(药物) may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night，they may prevent a heart attack in the morning．    Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors !58. How far did Barbara Wells run every morning?59. How did Barbara Wells’ legs and back get well?60.
